The factory regulator was still fine, but I decided to 'upgrade' to an aftermarket unit so I could adjust the fpsi

I made a new vacuum line using an extra OEM nylon line from a factory vac harness. I used a heat gun to mold it to the bends needed. Wanted to keep red color so it matches vac diagram, but oh well. Seems to fit real nice!

Because of my unique configuration, the throttle body is mounted upside down so you don't get to see the 'pretty' side of the T/B

Honestly, I prefer it like this anyway - now it looks like it's still a factory part installed!

Since I want a factory appearing engine bay, the attractive anodized red finish had to go.

I painted the module a satin black color. I used a spare Ford harness sticker (from a corner lamp harness) to mimic a factory loom.
